Giroud pulled out... saving him from getting a yellow...

Am I missing something? Why is he still getting boos or is that a chant?

They didn't want him taken off

i think it was a mix of booing him getting subbed OFF and also saying "girouuuud"

even french fans know he played a really good game today

I think it's to protest his substitution. He got a standing ovation.

And then when Gignac name is announced the boos turned to claps and cheers which confused me.

Would make sense though.

Stonewall penalty. Evra mis-controlled and kicked the ball up onto his hands

Surely France have a better LB than a 35 year old Evra. He doesn't have the legs anymore

I'm surprised Martial does not get any game time for France

He's got to be better than Gignac

Does anyone know if yellow cards will be reset in the semi-final? There will be a lot of players running the risk of missing out on the final otherwise.

Yup. Which is why the rules limit it to just the semis.

France took off Kos and Giroud because of that as well.

Mangala - Iceland have hope of another consolation goal then

Kurzawa is way better, Digne probably too. Deschamps mainly picks names

You could understand it if it was a decision based on squad harmony or something, but even Evra's own parents think he's an unlikable asshole.

Coman for Payet.. Payets meteoric rise this past season is unreal...

Some comfort for Iceland here.

5-2... Evra lost his man.. and Magala was nowhere to be found
